GROUPS TOUR MUSEUM

The Kettle Moraine Sport Riders club visited the Hollenstein Wagon Factory on Sunday, July 29. An impressive line-up of about 50 cycles parked along German Street as club members enjoyed touring the wagon factory, Hollenstein home, fire station and cigar factory.

Another visit entertained a family of descendants of the Ribbens family on Friday, August 3. They loved finding connections to their Ribbens and Hollenstein ancestry in artifacts and photos from the past.
